Vintage 1920s Japanese Propelling Mechanical Pencil Engine Turned Red Lead JAPON:
$34.95

Antique mechanical propelling pencil from the 1920s to 1930s Art Deco era.

Hexagonal barrel adorned with an intricate, engine-turned geometric guilloche pattern that catches the light beautifully

The upper collar is stamped with the classic international export mark JAPON.

It comes loaded with its original vintage wax-based red lead right at the tip. Please note that, like most vintage twist pencils of this era, the mechanism is a propelling style, meaning it pushes the lead forward when twisted. To retract the lead, you simply twist the mechanism backward and gently press the lead tip against a flat surface to slide it back into the nose cone.

The crown cap unscrews to reveal the original, century-old hardened rubber eraser compartment.

Approximately 5 inches

The metal casing shows a gorgeous vintage patina with minimal surface wear consistent with age.

The cap shows more wear.
